Reader's Choice: Who Does Your Taxes?

Do you do your own? Get help from a friend? Use software? Or do you go to a professional preparer? Let us know!

 

More than 77 million of you have already filed your 2012 tax returns, according to the Internal Revenue Service! You know what they say - the early filer gets the refund!

Of that number, the IRS says 41,516,000 were done by professional preparers. That's 1.5 million more than in 2011.

The deadline to file your taxes for Connecticut residents this year is April 17, two days past the traditional April 15 date. So you still have time to dig all those receipts out of the glove box and the back of the closet and head to your local tax preparers' office!

This week's Readers' Choice wants to know - who does your taxes?

Are you a do-it-yourselfer? If so, do you get help from a friend or do you use software to help prepare it? Or do you use a professional preparer? Let us know!

And if you have a specific tax professional to recommend, let us know in the comments! 

The poll will close Friday at 9 a.m.

Owners really need to pick up their dog's waste. It is a major polluter of the Long Island Sound.Read More Whenever your dog drops one and you leave it, think of that fish, lobster, or shellfish you ate from the Sound! Enjoy eating your dog poop bacteria!

I'm so lucky!! For 10 years my dogs have frolicked safely in the back part of Bauer - away from theRead More roads, traffic and homes - closer to the back of the HS. I have never heard any dogs bark or 'yap', never saw a dog run into the gardens and destroy the plots, never saw a dog fight or kids being assaulted and luckily avoided all the poop they are leaving behind although I do dodge the deer pellets. My timing must be stellar to avoid all the bad dogs, their dismal behavior and threats to others. Whew!!

The whole state is tick infested. Luckily, dogs can use a product called Frontline Top Spot or itsRead More cheaper generic equivalent, which completely protects them from ticks and fleas. On the shoreline to Middletown, you should be using it on your dog year round. I once saw a deer tick crawling on SNOW in Madison near the Country School in February. The Lyme vacine is ineffective in most canines and most canines that get Lyme, shake it off in time - unlike humans. Top Spot keeps the ticks off or dead for the humans that pet the dog. Regardless, dogs running on cut grass some distance from woods or taller grass won't encounter many if any ticks. Especially if the outer perimeter of the fence is treated in spring and fall.
